learn that his friends and admirers here

have decided to mark their appreciation of his services by giving him a public welcome home. He has labored manfully and nobly for the Dom- inion at large, anil for his native Province. The greater credit is due him from tbe fact thathe has not

been in receipt of a large salary, but, like Sir Frank Smith and other Senators in the Cabinet, has given his time and exerted his ability without any other reward than

that which he may obtain from the knowledge that his efforts are appreciated by his feliow-countrymen whom he has

THE RECONSTRUCTED

CABINET.

Ir will, we think, be admitted by every well-informed and that the cabinet that has been formed by Sir Chas.

candid man

Tupper is an exceptionally strong one. By the accession of Hon. A. R. Angers to the Quebec leadership the country has the best guarantee that can be afforded for honorable, and honest, and independent administration. The conduct of Mr.Angers in respect to Mercierism will be commend- ed to al! posterity, and the whole carzer cf the man has been in keeping with the qualities and virtues so signaliy displayed by him in that regard. Not so much is known concerning Lieutenant Colonel Tisdale, who has become Minister of Mil- itia. It is related by the St. John Sun thet,—

“Colonel Tisdale was 3 member of the volunteer corp3 which went to the border at the-time of the Fevian invasion. About this time Mr. John Charlton, M. P., who was born and edacatel in New York, and had some years before become a resi- dent of Oniario, wrote for « New York newspaper a contemptuous account of the Canadian militia, and especially of the Norfelk regiment. Iu this letter Mr. Charl- ton ridiculed unmercifully the equipment and appearance of the Canadian force and made al! sorts of derisive remarks about Canadian loyalty. The la‘e Col. Amyot one day took occasion to read extracts from this letter in one of the debates in the House of Commons, anid to point out that Mr. Charlton was atill in the habit of exa'ting the United States at the expense of his own country. In the same discuesion Colonel Tisdale, speaking with a good deal of feeling, said that he bad been one of the awkward squad who were the victims of Mr. Charlton’s He dec'ared that he would rather have Leen one of the badly drilled, roughly dressed and rudely equipped band of men who bade gocd-bye that day towife anl children, uot knowing whether they should meet them asain, than have been the New York gentlemen who held their ap pearance, their outfit and their loy alty to the ridicule of the foreigners. It may be of interest to New Brunswickers to know that Colonel Tisdale’s grandfa- ther, Ephriam Tisdale, was one of the loyalist settlers of this province. He re- moved to Upper Canada iv time to take

rtin*the battles of Queenstown and sundy ‘s Lane.”

tu

Though Colonel Tisdale has been long

in politics auda member of Parliament Since 1557, we have never heard or readva word derogatory to his character, while hie ability has been sufficiently proved. In the Hon. L. O. Tallion, who leaves the Premiership of Quebec to enter the cabi- net with Sir Sharles Tupper, we have an- other man of well-proved honesty and ability. Neither can the high character of the Hon. Hugh J. Macdonald be im- pugned. The people of Canada cannot but be gratified by the fact that a eon of the great politica! chief who has passed away bas entered the cabinet and taken the portfolio which was at one time held Mr. Desjar- dins takes the office that was held by Hon. Mr. Ouimet, who with Sir Adolphe Caron has retired. Hon. Mr. Ross of Quebec, Sir Frank Smith and the Hon.

THE MANITOBA QUESTION:

legislate on this question, as @ last resort, re<ts with the Dominion Parliament.” He does not raise the false and foolish cry of “ egercion.” But he tries to make it ap pear that the persistent obstruction of the Opposition throughout the past session was due to the necessity and the great desire of the Opposition for the appointment of Commission into the working of the school systems which have been in opera- tion in Manitoba. He says:

“They (the Privy Council of Canada) should have taken steps to fiad out bow the separate schoo] system worked during wat in existence, the National

the twenty years it from 1870 to 1890, and how system worked during the last four year, fram 1890 to 1895, a rnd whether the latter system violated the conscientious convie tions cf the R. C. minority. How c.u'd you tel' what was best to do until by in vestigation you had determine! the prac- tical working of the two system3.””

This is Mr. Davies’ plea for the appoint

ment of a Commission. We submit, asa

sufficient reply, the following from the recent speech of a greater man than Mr. Davies, viz, the Hon. David Mille, the Philosopher of Bothwell :

“This power (to pass a Remedial law) is granted for a purpose and that purpose is to maintain certain privileges unim— paired. It is an incentive in addition to a strong sense of public duty to honestly ob serve the azreement between the parties. [It is a perpetual monition to every pro- vince not to disregard the obligations which primarily rest upen it and not to permit the legislative history to be sullied by broken faith. Parliament is given a

superintending authority, so far as such is necessary to fulfil its trust. It is given solely for that purpose. Beyond this it cannot go. In no case is it made a judge of different system». This is the function of the local legislature, and not of Parliament. What Parliament is au-

thorized to do is to see that where a con pact exists, and complaintis made of its violation, that its terms are observed if the minority desire its continuance, for the words are: ‘As faras the circumstances of each case require the Parliament of Canada may make remedial Jaws for the due execution of the provisiens of this section.’ ”

Here we have it laid down by the only constitutiona] lawyer on the Opposition side of the House of Commons that “ in no case ” is the Dominion made a judge of lifferent systems. What busimess has it then toissue @ commission to fiad ont bow the separate schools system woiked and how the other school system worked ? Mr. Davies is met at ouce by the argu- ment of his own colleague in the Opposi- ton, and fully, ard completely and satis- factorily answered. It is not the business of the Parliament of Canada to enquire into the yarious systems of educatien and apply this one to Manitoba and that one to Quebec. That is the duty of the Provincial Legislatures. The duty of the Government and Parliament of Canada is to see that the compacts in respect to education are violated by the provinces invoived, and in case of violation to supply a rem- edy forthe grievance of the minority. Mr. Laurier seems to have held this view, even before it was supported by the great authority of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of the Empire, for 1893 he drew a parallel between the case uf Quebec and that of Manitoba, and said:

1D

“Tf uader the circumstances, an appeal were brought to this Government, is there & man in this Honse who would no! say at once to the Government: It is your bousd- en duty aT once to interfere and make away with this obnoxioue and tyrannical legislation.”

Mr. Laurier had net then hit upon the idea of a coxmission of investigation! Three years ago he bel.eved—or at least ssid that he believed—it was the beunden luty of the Government ‘at once” to inter- fere. Again he said:

“Ifthe Supreme Court should decide that the Government have the power to interfere with the Legis!atureof Manitoba and the Government should not obey the legal mandate which they themselves had sought, there would be a powerful and a rightful agitation in some parts of the country against (he Government,”

And now, aiter three additional years have passed away, and the judgment of the Lords of the Privy Counci! has been obtained, and repeated efforts hare been vainly made to secure a settlement of the question by the Government and the Leg- islature of Manitoba, and the Government and Parliament of Canada have proceeded as induty bound to enact remedial legisla- tion,—Mr. Laurier and his Opposition come down with a demand fur @ commi:- sion to take into consideration the diffi- erent systems of education aad how they are applicable to Manitoba! To th’s eod they have carried out the plan of campaign involving parliamentary ob- struction, stoppage of public business and great loss to the country,though this end is, according to the opinion ef Mr. Laurier in 1893, according to the opinion of Hon, David Mills now, and according to every authoritr on the Gover: ment side of the House, outside and beyond the duty of the Parl anent of Canada,

The Hon. Mr, Foster, in the course of his great speech on the second reading of the Remedial) Bill, exposed the motive: of the Oppositioa and held them up to pub- He said :

“But the platform on which they stand iu their plea for a commission of investi- gation; letus analyze it. My hon. friend the leader of the Opposition (Mr. Laurier) woves the six months’ hoist to a Bull which embodies the principle or remedial legislation. Therefore, he and his party are Opposed to that princip'e. My hon. friend in the very same breath, says: I | go for an investigating commission; and | he is applauded to the echo by the hon.

vestigation, unless the principle of abso- lute remedial legislation underlies it. What business have you investigating if you do not intend to exercise the remedial power should the investigation establish a

grievance ? The only logical position of

avti-remedialists is that taken by the Globe avd by the third party, viz: to say you do not want any commission. But

the moment you appoint a commission, on your own showing, you are either pok- ing your noses into something you have no business with, or you are standing on a principle which will pledge you to legis- late if the commission shows that there ig a grievance. That is the consistent platform enunciated by a _ party which at one and the same mi ute declares against remedial legislation—kick it out; and for remeuial legislation—let us have a commission of enquiry! Inquiry is the general cry. The Manitoba government raised it to call off public attention from ihe act they had committed. My hon. friend the leader of the Opposition raises itin order to keep his party in unison. My hon. friend from L’Islet (Mr. Tarte) follows him a long way off. He was not there a few years ago, he was not there a few montha ago, but the crack of the party whip has been heard, and my nervous and excitable friend feared the lash and came into line, and now calls out for delay and investigaton as sturdily as the best of them. Sir Oliver Mowatt adopted it to keep the party within line. tt is like @ vast umbrella under wich they «ll gather and are sheliered from the pelt ig rain ofcriticism, as they think, but beneath which they quarrel lke cats and dogs. It is the party shibboleth. Whisper- ed in lowest tenes by the remed ialists—it is a precedent for legislation; shouted in stestorian tones from the honsetep3 by the aati-remedialists—it is an absolute negative of the princ:ple of remedial legis- lation. :

What is there to investigate? Do we require an investigation into the compacts? There are the documents—the confeder- ation compact and the Manitoba compact. Read them, if you santto know what they imean. They are the préunion rights, the privileges which everyboaly knows

existed, though legal\y they are 7ecided pot to be, and we throw that out the question. There were post union rights

and privileges. Are these not known? And they were taken away. The law of 1870 shows what was given, the law of 1390 shows what was taken away—and what ncw remains “Scripta mavent”— gatber those and read them, if you want

to kuow what was given and what was taken away and what remains. Does

anybody doubt that? Not the Manitoba government, eurely. That government gave them, it took theni away,and it gave its reasons. Notthe courts. They beard the cases, fully investigated the facts, and gave their decisions. There is not a member of this Parliament who does not know the facts and who has not made up his miad with reference to it. There is not an intelligent Canadian who does not know the facts; the facts are sufficently known without investigation. What are the facts? There was acompact which, it was theught, seeured the minority privileges, and the minority have not those privileges tow. There were separate schools for the minority; there are none now. The taxes of the Catholic minority formerly went to support separate schools; they now go to the public schools, and be- sides this, the minority have to pay for their private schools. The minority hada share of the public funds; they have none now. They had denominational educa~ tion then; they have not got it now. Al) these things are known. They are to be found in the books of the statutes; they are in the reports of the inspectors of schools; they are in the statistics of the e:bool-; they are in the census returns they are in the groupings of population.

Appoint yourcommissioners, send them up there, let them investigate, and when

they have done their work and come back, what will we have? We will simply bare a collection of the very information which we have at hand to-day. A commission will not boil down all this information and put it into homeopathic pill-, so that one can take two or three, and, without any effurt on his part, bave the whole informa tion spread to his brain. There are the documents; they bave to be examined. The investigating commission could only gather the documents which we have be- fore us now, and lay them before you for examination, That is all.”

Is it not clear that this demand for a commission of enquiry is trumped up merely to serve the party purpoees of Mr. Laurier and hie fellows ?

THE UNCERTAINTYO F LIFE.

Tre two deaths which occurred last Sunday morning ought to forcibly remind us of life’s uncertainty, and that, above all thinge, our lamps are trimmed and burning for the bridegroom when he c mes. With what little fear the call comes to those who live such lives as tle late Alexander McKinnon. A thorough Christian in his social, religious and busi- ness |.fe, and beloved by all who kaew him for his kind and unassuming disposi- tion. Andin the case of Mrs Cairas, we see her when but a little child, thea asa schoolmate, and next as a young woman beginning the battle of life. And all through those different stages by her kind and gentle nature she formed true aud lasting friendship—which was truly evinced during her illness and death. It is only a few short months since she wore the brida! robe, and as far as mortal eye could eee her future path lay strewn with flowers and sunshine. But the angel of death came and demanded her soul.

And now how many of us have learned the lessor from this, that life is too short to be wasted tipon petty quarreling and il] feelings. Let us all endeavor in the future to be more loving and kind towards one another, laying aside all malicious un- charitable and suspicious thoughts and actions towards our fellow mortals. And let us while we have the opportunity to do ®0, return the warm cordial shake of the hand, forgetting and forgiving the pact, however dark it may have been. We are al] Gods mortals travelling either to Heaven or [Tell. Anddare he say who holde a higher position in Jife than that of Lis neighbor, that he holds it independ- ant of a higher power.

His Troable Wa; ia the Kidneys,

This was the care with M+. D. J. Locker of Sherbrooke, Que. He euffered for three years from a complicated case of Kidoey and Bladder disease, and spent over one hundred dollars for treatment, but never received marked relief until, to use his own words, “I began the use of South American Kidney Cure.’ Kidney disease has fastened its famge on hundreds of others besides Mr. Locke, but every one can find a cure, effective and speedy, in South American Kidney Cure. In most distressing cases relief is secured in six hours. :

THE TUPPER CABINET

Hon Mr, Angers the Quebec Leader,

CHANGE OF THE QUEBEC MEMBERS.

Lieutenant-Colonel Tisdale Minister of

Orrawa, May 2.

Three members of the late administra- tion are not in the new cabinet, viz, Caron, a Ouimet and Daly. Their plac's are taken by Hon. L. O. Taillon. ex- Premier of Quebec, Senator Anger’, Sen- ator Ross, ex-Premier of Qu2bec, and Hugh John Macdonald, son of th? old ébiaftain.

The general opinion is that by the in- fusion of new blood from that pgovince

wa

4 Sir Charles bas done much to strengthen

the party prestige in the Quebec district.

‘ It appears that Hon. Mr. Avgers was asked by the Premier to take the Quebec Leadership and he did so on. the under- standing that he would bave choice of bis French Canadian colleagues in the new cabinet.

Mr. Angers has secured Premier Taillon and Mr. Desjardines.

With these three from Quele:, together with Hon. J. J. Ross, who, althouzh wear ing a Scotch name, is a French-Canadiar, ffur a seat withont portfolio, Sir Charles bclosed up the Ontario vacancy by assign ing Colonel Tisdale to the Militia portfolio. The tull Cabinet is as follows:

Sir Charles Tupper, Premier and S.cre- tary of State,

Hon. A. R. Angers, President of Counc),

Hon. R. B. Dickey, Minister of Justice.

Hon. A. Desjardin-, Minister of Public Works,

Hon. W. B. Ives, Minister of Trade and Commerce.

Hon. L, General.

lon. W. H. Montague, Minister of Agri- culture.

Hon. John Haggart, Minister of Rail- ways.

Hon. David Tisdale, Minister of Militia.

Hon. George E. Foster, Minister ot Finance.

Hon. John Costigan, Minister of Marine and Fi-heries.

Hon. Hugh J. the [oterior.

Hon. Senators Sir Frank Smith, Toronto; J, J.Ross, Quebec and D Ferguson, P. E. I}, without portf. lio.

Net of the Cabinet but in igtration :

Hon. J. F. Wood, Controller of Customs.

Hon. E. G. Prior, Controller ef Inland Revenue.

ti: C. H: Tupper, Solicitor General.

, The new ministera lunched together at }the Ridean Club after the swearing-in ceremony, and then held a council meet- ing which lasted over two hours.

. The principal business transacted was th udming of the Railway Committee of thg Privy Council and the Treasury Board.

be former is composed of Messrs. Haggart, Dickey, Prior, lves, Taillon and Matdoaald. The Treasury Board will con- ast of Messrs. Foster, Costigan, Taillon, Angers and Wood.

Taillon’s acceptance of a portfolio dis- solves the Quebec ministry, of which he was Premier.’

Bumor aszigns the Quebec Premiership to:Hon. Mr. Nantel, who is a great friend of Governor Chapleau.

Hen, Mr. Augers will retain his seat in the Senate and Jead the Upper Houee. Mr. Desjardines will resign his senator- thip aniprobably run for Maissoneuve, while Mr. Taillon will probably contest Terrebonne, although this is still problem- atical.

Of course Hon. Mr. Ouimet does not ropose to quit politics. Hew.!l ran in saval jast the same as if he were a minie-

ter’ Tue Premier authorizes the statement that im addition to the two ministers from Ontario already given, there will be added to the cabinet, without portfol.o, a leading gentleman in public life whose name is not yet mentioned.

Sir A.’P. Caron says that he will con test Rimouski, and do his utmost to aid in‘securing a new lease of power to the Conservatives.

The Premier goes to Montreal to-day thence proceeding to Winvipeg, probaly on Monday. On his retura .east he will address gatherings at Toronto, Montreal and other places and then pay a. visit to the Maritime Provinces.

As to his election manifesto Sir, Charles could only say that it would not be out for a couple cf days vet.

It is not difficult to forecast the leading features of the platform upon which he will appeal to the electorate. Without question there will be a significant de- claratien upon the subject of preferential trade within the Empire as an adjunct to the protective.policy which has done much to develop the industrial Canada.

It is ngt unlikely also that the people will Le’asked to sustain the policy of the Government in improviag the equipment of the militia and strengthening the de- fe ices of Caiade,

to get along in the world is to buy real

cheap clothes. As

a rule, the less you

pay the more it cots in the long rup.

When you need a

Suit, make up your

mind as to the most reliable place to pur-

chase. Then place

the responsibility of

giving a good article upon your Tailor, in which case you are assured of perfect

satisfaction.
